Top Cities.

Have you ever walked around a city and thought ‘this is paradise? Or may be this is the ugliest, most polluted, dangerous, frightening place I’ve ever been to and I can’t wait to get out’?

Most of us have. And that’s why and that’s why most of us like to go about the place before we go there. One thing we can do is read a good guide book. Another is to look at a new survey conducted by William Mercer, one of the world’s largest human resources consultancies.

Mercer decided to charge some of the world’s great cities. They produced their results by giving marks for various criteria. These included political, economic and social environment, healthcare, educational provision, recreation and transport infrastructure.

So, which are the best cities to live in, and which should we avoid? In joint first place were Vancouver, Berne, Vienna and Zurich while Sydney, Geneva, Auckland and Copenhagen came second. Swiss cities occupied three of the top ten places, making it the single most successful country of all those surveyed.

New York was used as a base city with a score of 100, which put it in the fifth place. Overall, US cities suffered because of high crime rates. The highest ranked US city was Honolulu with 104 points.

For Londoners the news was not so bad. London was slightly ahead of New York with 101.5 .The report named London’s good international relations as a positive point. Its poorest scores-six out of ten- were awarded for its climate and traffic. Bottom of the list was Brazzaville, in the Congo, where there has been a civil war for many years.

Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, last night said it was unfair to compare large international cities with small cities since the smaller ones were far easier to run. ‘You have to look at cities of five million people plus. On that basis we are much better than Tokyo and New York’, said Mr. Livingstone.

2.Выполнение упражнений на понимание основного содержания текста.

Read the interview and match the questions 1-7 to the answers a-f.

1. And how about older people, who are starting to think about retirement? What do they look for? ___

2. If I’m young and single, just starting out, what places would I find attractive? ___

3. And what if I have a family with kids? Is that different? ___

4. In general what places make it to the top of the list? ___

5. How old did you decide who makes it to the top? ____

6. Were there any surprises in your findings? ___

7. And what about the bad news? Why does a city end up at the bottom of your list? ____

1. We look at over a hundred pieces of information about each place. We group those into nine categories including: economy, and jobs, cost of living, climate, education, arts and culture. Then we press a button on a computer, and that’s how we get the top ten.

2. Cities with a university do especially well. They have plenty to do, nice city centres, pleasant surroundings and usually they aren’t too crowded. The strength in higher education tends to affect all levels of education and most have excellent health care facilities. Then there are the state capitals, which tend to be clean, have good economic situation and lots of cultural facilities-these are also good.

3. Yes, quite a few. For instance, highly ranked cities are found all across the country not just on the sunny coast lines like everybody thinks. There are a few interesting cities that are called ‘Big city Bargains’. These are big cities with a low cost of living, like Pittsburg and Indiana polis.

4. Areas at the bottom typically have high levels of unemployment and crime and a high cost of living combined with low levels of education, few facilities are not much to do. However most of these cities recognize that there are problems and that they are actively working to improve.

5. Younger single people are interested in places with jobs where they can build their careers and make money. They want lively cities with lots to do and of course lots of other single people too! Of course, the top ten cities would all be good places to live, but for singles in particular we would choose the Norfolk area in Virginia and San Antonio, Texas.

6. Yes. Family look for many things, including good and affordable housing, quality education and more daytime facilities like parks, museums and outdoor recreation.

7. Well, that is the important thing about this book, it won’t just help you decide where you should be now, and it’ll help you to plan for the future, too. People who are planning to retire soon are thinking more about health care, leisure and overall cost of living and less about jobs, housing, costs and education.
